Network Monitor Mini Pro. Among its other features, it can continuously display your upload and download speeds as you use your phone or tablet. This is highly configurable (mine is white type about 3pt high at the bottom of my screen.) Mighty handy.
I'd call back in another week and see if they can push something, But in that time, try to keep checking by getting it on the hotspot when you can.
Can't remember - does your current software version show in the software tab if an update is available and waiting for wifi? That's a big help but it may have come in a later version than what you have.
If you're using your phone's hotspot you should use a network monitor app and you can see if the car is even downloading anything - I use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=info.kfsoft.android.TrafficIndicatorPro on Android so I can see if anything is even happening - this way you can quickly see if any big traffic is happening when you connect your hotspot before you sit there for an hour wasting your time.
Also welcome to the family from a fellow NYC'er :)
I checked this with a monitoring app since I tether when my home internet gets shitty. It usually stays in the 5KB-10KB/s range (thats kilobytes, not kilobits). It can spike up to 20-30 KB during heavy breaches.
10 KB/s * 1 hour = 36 MB
App I use, puts an overlay on top of your status bar:

Side-side note:
Here we use "Network Monitor Mini Pro". Works very well, high customization. No root required.

If you're on Android, you can install Network Monitor Mini Pro and display how much bandwidth you're using.
Nah I use Network Monitor Mini. Like this one as it has a special overlay that can fold onto the navbar nicely. Have got one using Tasker, but for KLWP. But, it's not as fast.
Maybe for P2P connection adaptive bitrate is used. For RTSP constant bitrate used. Hard to guess.
Try to use this (or analog app) to check how much download bandwidth is used via Dahua and tinyCam app.

It's called "Network Monitor Mini Pro." There is a free version, but it's limited, as one might expect, and the paid "pro" version, if I recall correctly, was only $1.99, which I covered with Play credits from Google Opinion Rewards surveys. It has a ton of great options not only for monitoring, but also logging as well as visibility into what connections are open on your device. Well worth $2 IMO.

edit: upon clicking the Play Store link to verify that it worked, I learned that the price is actually only $1
Assuming you meant you want to see network speed in status bar

It will work as an overlay.
There is a free version. Not sure if that has an option to put the indicator on top of status bar.
As I said, I've watched it stop working during one video stream, then start working again, then stop, etc.
This app will overlay your current bandwidth usage on the screen. When Binge On is working it never goes over 1.6-1.7Mbps. YouTube stays at 480p (occasionally 720p) with the "auto" resolution setting. When Binge On stops working bandwidth usage will spike, YouTube goes to 1080p, and I'm billed for the data usage. When it starts working again (5 to 15 minutes later) usage goes back down to 1.6-1.8Mbps and resolution drops to 480/720p.
I have tried to manually set resolution to 480p but all that does is slow the bandwidth drain when Binge On decides to stop working. I'm still billed for the data usage, just less of it.
I do not know what the problem is here. I would be inclined to blame YouTube, perhaps they have new IP ranges that T-Mobile isn't aware of, but how do you explain the fact that it only happens when my device is in motion? It's particularly prone to happen when my device drops from LTE to 3G. Thursday night I lost LTE in the middle of a 55 minute stream, it went to HSDPA, and for the last 15 minutes of my stream Binge On was non-functional. That said, I've seen it happen without the LTE to 3G fallback, so you can't entirely blame that.
The only consistent thing is it happens when my device is in a handoff situation, between cell sites, never when the device is stationary and attached to a single cell site without handoffs.
It only happens with YouTube, not with other zero-rated video apps (Amazon, PBS Kids, the PBS website, etc.) or Music Freedom apps. T-Mobile read me my music freedom counter, from their internal screen, and it perfectly agreed with what my device has logged for Pandora. Can't speak to Pandora Ads -- I pay for it and have none -- but they don't seem to be charging me data for album art.
I use Network Monitor Mini Pro

Network Monitor Mini Pro is the next best alternative.
